Learning Something New Every Day

Today I am learning about using iCloud to sync photos to my computer and devices.  I did do it.   Hooray!  Hope I remember how I did later.  Then, I created this card from one of the images I created using my phone after deleting and adding several features.

Creating iPhone Art Images--The Process

The images taken with the iPhone are mine and not painted in anyone else's style.  They are created in ways expressing my feelings.  All are original.

Each image goes through a series of processes.  First, the image is taken, then cropped in the iPhone.  Next, a variety of textures are added  and the final step is sizing for posting and the addition of copyright information.   Sometimes the resizing and copyright is added right in the phone and other times these changes are made in Photoshop.  Occasionally final subtle details are added in Photoshop.  Most images take several hours to complete.

Later I may use the iPhone photographs as sketches for actual watercolor, or oil paintings.

Recent Images -- Doing A Catchup

I am learning how to save, transfer and post images created using my iPhone.  I have run into a few difficulties and am trying to figure these glitches out and make some sense of this.  Here are some of the recent images created and posted to Facebook.  I like to keep an ongoing record here (backup) and doing both isn't always easy.  So....here you go...these are for my faithful blog readers.  I didn't forget you.

After the Storm

I love it when birds show up to have their picture taken....so...had to post.  We had some heavy duty storms this afternoon and sunsets after storms are usually spectacular.  Tonight's sunset came through as expected and did not disappoint.

Digital Art Watercolor Image

This image reminds me of a watercolor done by Albrecht Durer.  There is also an oriental feel to this  piece. The simplicity takes my breath away.

Ovoid Jug (Circa 1750)

Decided to experiment with the iPhone again and captured this still life.  Now, I'm excited.  What fun--another means of expression.

Playing Again

Went out with iPhone yesterday and took a few shots of places that caught my attention.  Came home and fooled around with several apps.  All of this playing would work better on an ipad or ipad mini.  I continue to debate with myself over getting one of those.  Decision, decisions...
